Subject: [Work] Mac OS X Full Keyboard Access settings for accessing
alltabbable elements

Hi all,

There have been some tabbing/focus issues with FF/Mac OS X 10.6 where
certain buttons and elements are not accessible via the keyboard. This
seems to stem from a keyboard access setting on OS X that limits
keyboard access to only text boxes and lists.

From within System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts tab

there is a setting for allowing Full Keyboard Access. Default is "Text
boxes and lists only" and this should be changed to "All Controls." I
believe this will fix the problem in FF that limits which objects can be
tabbed upon.

More info:

+in+web+browsers

Additionally, this can be enabled via keyboard shortcut: ctrl+F7

Thanks,

  • Jesse
